Earlier wednesday.........
The winds are down and we have been motoring again for the past hour but the seas are still sloppy from yesterday's blow. All well on board, we are looking to eat a little better today as the wind is down. Forecast is a change to easterlies which will work for us. We passed Coff's Harbour in the night and it is 75 miles to Cape Byron on the border with Queensland.
We still have an ETA of Thursday sometime.
current position at 0630 H on Wednesday feb 22 is 29 54 S, 153 24.8E Speed is 6.0 kts on a course of 355M. We are motorsailing in wind from the SSW at 8 kts.
Later on Wednesday.....
We are doing quite well fighting with the two knot current that runs down the coast, so we have had to stay about a mile off the beach for the past 24 hours and until we are in.
We have about 110 NM to go so we should be in sometime tomorrow but it might be quite late. The will be more wind tomorrow but mostly behind us.
Current position is 28 41.4S, 153 38.7E speed is 6.5 kts on a course of 050M. Wind is from the SE at 15kts.
